ABSTRACT:
A new and distinct Native Mesquite Tree, Prosopis glandulosa which is particularly characterized by its complete thornlessness, its tolerance of cold to -15 C., its extreme upright habit, its formation of a tree of good symmetry and balance, and by its adaptation to dry desert areas in the United States. The tree of this discovery presents an attractive shade tree to the landscape industry which does not require undue amounts of irrigation, and which will mature into a tall attractive specimen at full maturity.
